Accidental risotto (Reply)

This posting courtesy of desireearmfeldt's memelet: "Post to DW talking about one fun thing you did recently.". I cooked someone else's recipe! (At least sort of.)coraline recently posted a chicken and rice recipe which looked interesting. However, it called for a pressure cooker, which I don't own. I figured I could make it in a Dutch oven and it would be at least moderately close. I was expecting, given the title, something resembling a porridge, or a stew with rice in it. What I got, after a frantic scraping of the rice off the bottom of the pot and adding triple the liquid for 2/3 the rice, was a chicken risotto.

I made several modifications to the recipe.

No onions (I regret them deeply when I eat them, even cooked)

Parsnips instead of carrots (I like parsnips, but haven't done enough with them, so this seemed like a fine time to try)

Put everything from the chicken to the rice in a Dutch oven. Bring to a boil, stirring regularly. Turn down to a simmer and cover, stirring occasionally, being sure to scrape the bottom of the pot. The rice will absorb all the liquid; add water as needed.

Once the chicken and the parsnips are cooked through, stir in the black pepper and the Romano cheese.
